Every year thousands of dog show exhibitors head East on 1-70 toward St. Louis and Purina farms. On their way, on I-70, about an hour-and-a-half east of Kansas City, Missouri, they pass the exit for the town of Marshall, population 13,065. Marshall is the Saline county seat, but that’s not what its famous for–Marshall was the site of the 1937 National Corn Shucking contest, which drew a record 120,000 attendance. But that’s not what it’s famous for either. Marshall has all the things you expect to see in small town America: an old county courthouse, veterans’ memorial, antique shops and a big statue of a dog. That’s what makes Marshall famous.
This month’s Publisher’s column (page 10, Febuary 2024) brought back memories for me. For those of us who have been in the sport for at least a few decades, it was a welcome reminder of how things used to be. If you have not read it, I encourage anyone and everyone to give it a […]

What breed of dog am I? I am a breed in the Non-Sporting group; beginning in the late 19th century, I was often used as a trick-dog in traveling circuses throughout the United States. I come in three sizes: standard, miniature and toy. I am a loving companion dog that presents a picture of strength and agility, […]
It’s been almost four years since I officially retired from professional handling. I know there was that earlier time when I announced my retirement. My hip was so bad I just couldn’t drag my carcass around the ring. I received so many accolades, I started wondering when I had passed away. It truly was overwhelming. Makes me blush just thinking about them all. Anyway, I had my hip replacement surgery and I felt like a million bucks again. Well, a hundred thousand anyway. And when the pandemic shut everything down, I really got to rehab. When the world opened back up again, I was fit as a fiddle–to a degree. But not working for a year, well, I wasn’t eating Kraft® dinner but things could have been better. Shows started up and I did what I knew best. I started showing dogs. Now, I have really retired. Not the Mike Tyson kind, for real this time–I promise.
